I’m specifically interested in seeing how the transition from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice goes. My boss has been pondering the possibility of migrating us from Word and Excel to Writer and Calc. My concern, as someone who exclusively uses LibreOffice at home, is those edge-cases where another entity sends us a document that has some weird behavior that might not be properly replicated in LibreOffice. I don’t know much about the German government’s typical document practices, but I think this will be a good case study on the viability of LibreOffice in a more serious production environment.

I’ve had pretty good luck with SoftMaker FreeOffice in the past, although it’s closed-source.

Also, chances are it will eliminate these edge-case-problems for everybody else in the future.
Since they will be able to add these missig functionalities to LibreOffice for everybody else to use too.
